Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC)

JSC hosts several research groups in various research fields, form quantum information processing, earth system science, structural biology, supercomputing architecture and mathematics.

(JSC) has introduced a special form of high-level support structure: the Simulation and Data Laboratory (SDL). Around ten such teams have been established at JSC specializing in various disciplines including Biology, Neuroscience, Molecular Systems, Plasma Physics, Earth Science, Quantum Materials Science, Fluid Dynamics and Astrophysics. Their purpose is to assist user groups in refactoring domain-specific computational & data-intensive applications in order to enhance performance efficiency and scalability at all concurrency levels on modern, heterogeneous architectures.

The cross-domain Algorithms, Tools and Methods Labs (ATMLs) are interdisciplinary teams of scientists performing research and development on and providing training in generic, cross-domain areas. This also includes the development of original algorithms, tools and methods. Typically, an ATML addresses overarching topics such as numerical algorithms, machine learning or parallel performance tools, that are key to enabling computational & data-intensive science and for transforming data into knowledge.
